Hi C,
Yes you should take copies of any fresh evidence that you have to your face to face assessment, and hand them to the ATOS HCP, before the assessment starts.
They are "supposed" to read and take into account any such evidence along with the ESA50.
To send copy to the ESA Decision Maker also, which may be prudent, you address it : FAO The ESA Decision Maker, at the address of the Benefits Office/Centre that you have on any letter regarding your ESA.
You could also post copy to ATOS at the address that you sent your ESA50 to.
Make sure you put yor Name, NI Number, and DOB on any seperate pages also.
See : Sending Documents to the DWP or ATOS

Hi, I'm new to this site & hoping someone can advise me.. I have a medical assessment on Tuesday 6th November & I have only just obtained medical evidence from my GP confirming my conditions which I will be taking with me to the assessment but should I also send copies to DWP? If so what address do I use and who to address it to?
